[0020] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the shield tail brush force sensor. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solution of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the embodiments.
[0022] A shield tail brush 2 is installed along the length direction of the shield tail 4. Generally, at least three shield tail brushes 2 are installed on the shield tail 4. The brush body of the shield tail brush 2 contacts the concrete pipe segment 1, and a shield tail grease cavity is formed between all the shield tail brushes 2 and the shield tail 4 and the pipe segment 1. If the shield tail brush 2 is worn, it will affect the sealing performance of the shield tail brush 2 and cause grease leakage. Based on this, the present application proposes a shield tail brush force sensor, such as Figure 1 As shown, the shield tail brush 2 is fixed to the shield tail 4 by a first fastener 5, which passes through the fixing member 11 and the bottom plate of the shield tail brush 2 in sequence, and fixes the fixing member 11 and the shield tail brush 2 to the shield tail 4. The first fastener 5 is provided with a mechanical sensing element for detecting the force on the bottom plate of the shield tail brush 2. Whether the shield tail brush 2 is worn is determined according to the change of the force on the bottom plate 2.
[0023] It is conceivable that the present application integrates a mechanical sensing element on the first fastener 5. As one implementation, the first fastener 5 can be an external hexagonal bolt, such as Figure 3As shown, during actual installation, a special sleeve is required for installation and tightening. For easy installation, the fixing member 11 may be provided with a through hole for installing the first fastener 5 and the bottom plate may be provided with a screw hole for installing the first fastener 5. The through holes are evenly distributed on the fixing member 11 to ensure uniform force, more accurate pressure value collected by the mechanical sensing element, and more precise judgment of the degree of wear.
[0024] The first fastener 5 is provided with a smooth portion and a threaded portion. The smooth portion is constructed at the circumferential portion of the first fastener 5 corresponding to the fixing member 11, and the threaded portion is constructed at the circumferential portion of the first fastener 5 corresponding to the bottom plate and the shield tail of the shield tail brush 2. Figure 3 As shown, the circumferential lower portion 8 of the first fastener 5 is a threaded portion, and the upper portion 14 is not threaded, so there is a certain distance 15 between the upper portion and the fixing member 11, the bottom plate of the shield tail brush 2, and the shield tail 4. The mechanical sensing element is arranged in the axial direction of the smooth part (not shown in the figure), which can be used to detect the pressure provided by the bottom plate of the shield tail brush 2 to the fixing member 11. The mechanical sensing element is arranged here to reduce the strength impact caused by the modification of the first fastener 5.
[0025] The outgoing line source 7 of the mechanical sensing element is arranged at the head of the first fastener 5 , so the outgoing line source 7 can be directly led out, then enter the wiring hole 12 penetrating the shield tail 4 , and be led to the direction of the shield tail 4 .
[0026] Since the outgoing line source 7 is located at the head of the first fastener 5, in order to protect the outgoing line source 7, a countersunk hole 13 for installing the first fastener 5 is constructed on the fixing member 11. After the first fastener 5 is installed, the countersunk hole 13 is sealed with glue to improve the sealing performance of the shield tail 4.
[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a guide member 9 is fixed on the shield tail 4, and the fixing method can be welding without limitation. A through guide hole 3 is constructed in the guide member 9, and the guide hole 3 leads the outgoing line 6 of the mechanical sensing element to the front end direction of the shield tail 4. Generally speaking, the direction of the guide hole 3 can be any direction as long as it can guide the outgoing line 6 of the head of the first fastener 5 to the head of the shield tail 4. Usually, for the sake of simple wiring, the shortest straight line distance is the best direction of the outgoing line 6. Therefore, the extension direction of the guide hole 3 can be along the length direction of the shield tail 4. The structural form of the guide hole 3 can also be changed, and it can be a through hole that penetrates the guide member 9, or it can be a groove opened on the surface of the guide member 9. The main purpose is to guide the direction of the outgoing line 6. However, it should be noted that no matter which setting form is used, it needs to be sealed by glue filling.
[0028] The guide hole 3 is connected with a protective sleeve 10 for the outlet wire 6 of the mechanical sensing element to pass through, and the protective sleeve 10 is arranged on the shield tail 4, so that the outlet wire 6 is led out from the guide hole 3 and enters the protective sleeve 10, and can be led out from the front end of the shield tail 4 along the protective sleeve 10. The protective sleeve 10 can be a rigid steel pipe or a flexible hose with a certain degree of flexibility, which is not limited here.
[0029] The outlet wires 6 of the first sensors of the plurality of shield tail brushes 2 installed at the rear of the shield tail 4 can be directly led out from the fixing member 11 and then enter the wiring hole 12 that runs through the shield tail 4. It can be imagined that the outlet wires 6 of the rear shield tail brushes 2 can extend from the wiring hole 12 inside the shield tail 4 to the front end of the shield tail 4. The wiring hole 12 also needs to be sealed with glue.
[0030] The way of leading out the outgoing wire 6 from the head of the shield tail 4 can be to directly reach the head through the wiring hole 12, or to enter the protective sleeve 10 and merge with the outgoing wires 6 of other shield tail brushes 2 and lead out. In this case, a connection port can be opened on the surface of the shield tail 4, where the wiring hole 12 bypasses all the shield tail brushes 2, and the protective sleeve 10 is adapted to open a docking port at the corresponding position. Therefore, the outgoing wire 6 of the rear shield tail brush 2 passes through the wiring hole 12 and the protective sleeve 10, and is led out from the head of the shield tail 4.
[0031] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be interpreted as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
